Google to launch latest version of Nexus 7 in July?

New Delhi: Aiming to position itself as the top-seller in tablet category, Google Inc will reportedly launch the new version of its Nexus 7 tablet, as per media reports.

The gen-next tablet will be powered by Qualcomm Inc's Snapdragon processor and will go on sale around July, a news wire quoting sources said.

The updated Nexus 7 will have a higher screen resolution, a thinner bezel design and adopt Qualcomm's chip in place of Nvidia Corp's Tegra 3, which was used in the first Nexus 7s released last year, the wire said.

As per further reports Google is likely to ship as many as eight million of the Nexus 7 tablets in the market by July. Asustek, a netbook PC pioneer, will continue to co-brand with Google on the new Nexus 7.
